go do some research on daewootech.com and try talking to xiaogary. i think those are your two best sources for reliable information.

Hi,
mine's a 1.4L and im running the 1.6L cams.
I remembered my workshop who sent the 1.6L cams to be made from 240deg to 270deg.
One of the dudes who bought a set fo 270deg cams passed me his 1.6L cams.
The workshop mentioned that the 1.4L stock cams are 220deg.
I have also check the engine specs from GM and the 1.6L stock cams have 1.1mm higher lift that the 1.4L stock cams.

I have yet to put it on a dyno.

Low end seems to suffer abit.

But power is more noticable from 3k rpm to redline 6.5k.
